LONDON, July 2.-Sir Joseph Pease gave a
banquet at his house, tonight, in honor Of Mr.
Gladstone, who made long speech. chiefly an
elaborate criticism of the speeches of Lord
Harrington at Manchester and Blackburn. In
his opening he referred to the Spaldings vic

mentary candidate was Defeated which,
he said, showed the value Of faith
and patience in the present crisis Lord
Harrington had said the crisis was
serious and grave, aud in this opinion
Mr.. Gladstone agreed with him. Parliament
had not been allowed to discuss the question of
ton of the coercion bill Lord Harrington had
proposed grand committee to consider the
Irish question, but excluded therefrom the Irish
commoness He lGladstonel only expected to
be able to say what would satisfy the the Irish
people 1t was imperative that the govern
ment submit to Parliament proposals rela-
tive to Ireland If they conceded to Ire
land the management of her own affairs.
the Liberal party would frankly and fairly
consider their proposals. Ireland was stronger
now on the home-rule question than ever. First,
her constituencies, under the Liberal franchise
act, had a voice; second. they elected members,
able to speak their eountry's wishes; third, an
ever increasing, active force in England was in
favor of home-rule. This triple cord was
into harbor of security. honor and repose.
II am glad" said Mr.. Gladstone, tthat Lord
Harrington admits that are still in the midst
OF serious and grave crisis, because the Union

disturbed by crime, there is no Irish question at
all, and that nobody need trouble about Ireland.

There are occasions upon which in

pleasant to remember. Such was the
occasion of the celebration Of the 365th
anniversary of Luther's appearance
before the Diet at Worms, held by
the Gotta Society ih the German
Lutheran Church in Butler on the
evening of the 18th of April. The
evening was one of the most unpleas-
ant of the season, so far as the wealth
er could make it unpleasant; but
everybody knows that bright fire
and cheerful social circle is never so
fully appreciated as when the snow
flies and winds howl. Contrast

was drizzling down and the snow was
making it's way along with it earth.

the auditorium of St. Marks was
made the more attractive.
Above the chancel, iu heavy block

ders the date respectively Of the event
celebrated and the time of the celebra-

the apex of the arch of the chancel
hung life-sized medallion of the Re-
former, fanked by wreaths of ever
green's, graceful festoons, and twiniog
ivy interspersed, white flowers of
brilliant hues, pure calles and bright
gereniums, lent their varied charms
to the enlivenment Of the scene. And
when the Society filed in, some forty
members, and took position in the
foreground, the sweetest flowers OF
